EUR/GBP spiked over 0.95% and was trading at 0.8575 at around 12:25 GMT.

The single currency buoyed across the board after the European Central Bank (ECB) announced a 50 basis points rate hike.

Markets were expecting the ECB to hike its rates by 25 bps and the move saw a knee jerk reaction across euro crosses.

Focus remains on the post-meeting press conference, Lagarde's comments might infuse some volatility.

Technical indicators have turned bullish. Price action is testing cloud top resistance. Breakout will buoy the pair higher.
